STUDENTS CONDUCT SUMMER CHEMICAL RESEARCH AT CARLETON COLLEGE
*"" «•*-——,
Northfield, Minn. — Several Carleton students are doing research this summer
in the College's chemistry department, supervised by faculty members and
funded by grants from a variety of sources.
Elizabeth Bent of Raleigh, N.C., and Jane Weier of Boxboro, Mass., both
of whom will be seniors in the fall, are studying with professor of chemistry
James Finholt under a grant from the Research Corporation. They are doing
research on a chromium compound discovered at Carleton last year. Gretchen
McGuire of Pittsburgh, Penn., who will be a junior this fall* is also being
supervised by Finholt. She is investigating compounds containing chromium-
carbon sigma bonds. Her research is funded by Carleton Curricular Research
and Development Funds.
Mark Nachbor, a senior this fall from St. Louis Park, Minn., is studying
with assistant professor of chemistry Timothy Eckert. Under funds from the
General Electric Corporation, he is investigating the mechanism of qulnone
oxidations of hydroaeromatic compounds.
Four students are doing research with assistant professor of chemistry
Lynn Buffington. All are using spectroscopy to study the confirmation (shape)
of biological molecules. With funds from the Research Corporation, senior
David Neidhart of Mankato, Minn., and junior Cristi Hamilton of Miles City,
Mont., are observing the rates of interaction of carbohydrates with various
solvents using the chemistry department's new microprocesser-controlled ultraviolet spectrometer. Thale Cross, a senior from Bellingham, Wash., Is
conducting an Infrared study of hydrogen bonding in carbohydrates and various
solvents. Dwight Koeberl, a senior from Atwater, Minn., is exploring the
solvent dependence of optical activity of carbohydrates. The latter two
projects are funded by grants from the Petroleum Research Fund.
